Welp, another year, same issues with starting pitching.

 

They should go sign Montgomery and Snell.

It’s too bad that my boy Brasier is gone.

Small sample size, it’s early, so bats aren’t up to stuff yet, and who knows who good the Mariners will be this season, but the starting pitching (and BP) has been really good.

Back in the basement of the AL East. .500 

Well, that was a fun glimmer of hope while it lasted (really, just the first 10 games). My assumption is they cross under the .500 mark today and live there the remainder of the season. Let's not fuck up again next offseason, again. Okay, front office?...

Yeah, going to be a long season. Story was hot, O'Neil was crushing it. But need pitching.

Nice.

Total domination: Houck tosses MLB's first 'Maddux' of '24

That term, in honor of Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, refers to a shutout accomplished in fewer than 100 pitches.

Houck did the honors in 94 pitches, 69 of them strikes. It was the first shutout by a Red Sox pitcher since Michael Wacha on June 6, 2022 at Anaheim. And the first “Maddux” by a Boston hurler since Clay Buchholz on Aug. 31, 2014.

Yeah, that was a very nice surprise. Overall, the starting pitching is remarkably good - especially with Pivetta healthy. 

This team can win plenty of low-scoring games. They just don’t have the offensive firepower or relief pitching to win more.

Welp, I was wrong. This team is pretty fun. Keep winning series. Gonna have to beat AL East teams though.

Yep, just focus on that. Still need middle relief.


And yeah, this is a fun team. Over 500 and pushing hard.

I'm going to say this about the Red Sox we are doing a lot better than I actually expected the season! Hell we got rid of half the team I had to learn a bunch of new names.

Yeah,  definitely wasn't expecting this level of pitching,  and Wong,  Duran, Abreu, and O'Neill are all performing better than I expected.  Even Rafaela and Hamilton have stepped in for Story better than anticipated. 

It's a fun team to root for.

Duran is my new favorite

Bregman!!!!!  I love this pick to replace O'Neill in the lineup.  It's a great addition but let's not act like it's a gain.  It's a replacement.  A net positive but I still want more.  I love the pickup tho.  Bregman is a monster who still has good years ahead of him.  I'm tired of not making the postseason.  One more deal, please.  Another stud batter or a closer while I'm dreaming.
